Has anyone tried this with Dragon Dictate? I want an inexpensive, non-headset option for voice recognition software.

I haven't tried it with the program you are talking about. But if the program allows you to use the dictation with any headset, or even built in microphone (if you have a laptop etc...) than it should work. This device functions as a regular microphone, it takes over the control of any microphone input. This being said it should work. The microphone is very nice, small, and convenient for skype as well because it gives a clear sound. Plus, in the event that it doesn't work, the microphone is inexpensive and can be returned. Hope this helps.

i have no idea as I only use it to record mostly from youtube. Perhaps you could get the best information fromtheir website.

I have this mic and would like to try that on my laptop. since it only has one plug (not two) - where exactly should I plug it in? I don't want to wreck it...What applications do you use it for? I really would like to see if it will work with dragon naturally speaking version 11.5

See the answers below - I know no more. The mute light future is helpful. More that once I have thought the headset wasn't working but it was just on mute! Very useful if you are frequently interrupted while dictating as I am. I hold it in my hand and have developed a reflex of pressing "mute" the moment anyone starts talking at me while I'm dictating. without it you can find yourself inadvertently recording a bunch of drivel !

Don't know, haven't used it in that capacity. If the Dragon mic requires a true stereo input, it probably won't work because the usb adapter is mono and puts the same signal in the left and right inputs.

Didn't try it but my suggestion for you is to look for another device. Even the cheapest headset I've had for 20$ was way better than this one. Just an advice.

I have recently purchased Dragon Naturally Speaking Premium 12, latest version. I am testing it at this time, so cannot give you a yes or no. It might depend on your version of Dragon and if for a Mac or PC. Mine is for PC. If you search Google for Dragon and what recorders are compatible you will find a list. I believe this recorder was on the list. I will post again soon once I test it further.

I couldn't get it to work either. I should have sent it back. I finally got Skype to work using the head set/mic from my Dragon Speaking program.

Yes. This headset works really well with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. It has the highest Dragon rating possible. It's very comfortable, sturdy and has a good base sound.

to the person that mentioned their sound card.... i don't know what kind of mac you have but i 've been having this problem with headsets and my g5 late 2005 for some reason macs don't always support the mic on pc compatible headsets etc so i was told by mac support to either buy an imic that would convert the mic and sound plugs into a usb headset or better yet to go to the website for mac dictate or the software that mac made previously to recognize voice and buy one of their certified mics at least then you know that it will work with other mac applications that really do need a sensitive mic. I hope it helped i just had the problem and am again trying to solve it now that i have rosetta. I tried the imic and it still didn't work but i could have bought a better headset to go with the imic and maybe that would have worked.

I can't answer that as I haven't tried it. There is an app called "Dragon Remote Microphone" which might fill your need. There is also an app called "Dragon Mobile Assistant." Again, haven't used it. Not on my list of things to do. Good luck.

I tried Windows Vista speech program and nearly threw my laptop out in the yard! It was SO frustrating, adding words when I would take a breath, trying to predict what I was going to say. Dragon didn't do that. We are still learning each other, but I will say I prefer it to Vista. Hope this helps.

I would also like to know whether anyone is using Dragon for the same purpose. I purchased a Sony Ditigal Voice Recorder ICD-UX70 a while ago which claims to be compatible with Dragon NaturallySpeaking software. Has anyone been successful transcribing teleconferences (lots of different voices)?

Like most any bluetooth headset it should work with most any bluetooth adapter. If you can select any audio input from the Dragon software then that should work as well.

This microphone works with all versions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking as well as Mac Dictate. It serves well as a starter microphone.KnowBrainer, Inc.

Yes, I use Mac Yosmite and Dragon Dictate works fine at times. At other times its temperamental. It crashes and re-launches a few seconds later. Thankfully you don't lose much work. overall, its manageable but takes a few seconds extra. I have not been able to work this out though!

You should, provided the connections are right. The microphone can be positioned directly in front of one's mouth, so clarity can be assured. Keep in mind that with almost anyspeech recognition system there will be a learning period both on your part and the machine's part. Since it works with my Dragon(r) speech-ware, it should work with Win 8 just fine.

I'm having the same problem. I contacted the company and they said the headset isn't designed for Windows, and that you may not be able to get it to work even with the correct drivers. Annoying!!
